StanleyPainJust grow the fuck up, already. The religion was invented by men seeking to control other people, most especially women.

Just fucking admit it, have some dignity and intellectual honesty, and just abandon the pretense of this being some kind of enlightened Christianity.

Sudan no1I think another part of growing up is realizing people will believe in weird illogical things, and as long as it's not hurting anyone you just waste energy getting mad about it.

I've actually been to this church because I used to work nearby (nice neighborhood). It's a little more depressing and musty than the average place of worship I didn't see any evidence of man hating or castration devices, so I'm relatively sure they're not hurting anyone.

NominalGonna go out on a limb and say very little changed for women between pre and proto Christianity.

Old_ZirconI've got a healthy skepticism when it comes to evolutionary psychology, but if religion isn't an evolved function of the human I'll eat my hat.

And don't give me atheism, the atheists I've encountered, at least, are every bit as religious as anyone, they just manifest it in individualistic, atheistic forms
